Indeed, I had forgotten about that...

Then, it that case, I think it would be better not to list the doc file
in SIMH_LICENSE_FILES at all.

Still, we'd want it to be copied, so maybe that could be done with a
post legal-info hook, something like (untested):

    define SIMH_LEGAL_INFO_DOC_FILE
        $(INSTALL) -m 0644 -D $(@D)/path/to/license.doc \
            $(LICENSE_FILES_DIR_TARGET)/simh-$(SIMH_VERSION)/license.doc
    endef
    SIMH_POST_LEGAL_INFO_HOOKS += SIMH_LEGAL_INFO_DOC_FILE

Yann E. MORIN.
